I will stay at St. Regis Bali for 5 nights (paid stay) and after that 5 nights at Mandapa (reward booking). My ambassador told me, both hotels usually do not upgrade to Villas.
Would you recommend to pay for an upgrade to a Villa at St. Regis or Mandapa (if I only want to pay once)?

The reports in this thread are otherwise, with many reporting villa upgrades. Bali is super popular right now though, so If you want to be guaranteed a villa, then hoping for upgrade may result in disappointment. To me, the villas are worth the price differential (they're super nice) but it is not an inconsiderable amount.

I hope I get an upgrade as Ambassador but I don't expect one. But if I had to choose between a Villa at St. Regis or Mandapa. Which would you choose?

Unfortunately SNA is not accepted in St. Regis Bali since it's all-Suite and Villa property ...

St Regises villas don't offer much in terms of view.
Gardenia villas are for people who like their privacy as guests from the lagoon pool can easily peek into the Lagoon villas due to direct access from those villas.
Strand villas are nice but the price is way higher than the other 2.
It does nice to have dedicated beach chair for you but then again the main beach area are rarely full anyway.
As for Mandapa, I only have tried their Riverview Villa.
Nice view towards the river.
At first the river does sounds quite noisy but that noise pretty much can be heard throughout the resort.

Recently completed 5 nights and very pleased with our stay. Wife and I are both lowly Marriott Golds so we were pleasantly surprised to get free breakfast. I can see why the breakfast here is so highly rated it really was very good.
We also enjoyed the free daily pressing service and complimentary hot chocolate with snacks served to our room everyday by the butler. Butler service was particularly useful for us as we had an 8 month old and they were so quick to deal with any requests we had.
The only downside is we didn't get any upgrade as the hotel was full and we were there during school holidays in August. Also no complimentary hotel/airport transfers. But we weren't really expecting these and the standard suite was more than enough space for us.
Even though we had just come from Alila Uluwatu Villas which was far bigger and aesthetically pleasing, we preferred the St Regis due to the exceptional service, probably the best I've received at any hotel.
Although dynamic pricing has messed things around, I think 275k points for 5 nights in August was a good redemption, considering cash rates of 700USD a night for our dates.

That's pretty good! Did you book prior to the recent deval/dynamic pricing updates? I'm looking at next august, and rates are close to 500k for 5n, which is ridiculous

That's steep! I booked about a month out from our stay dates: so at the beginning of last month. It was a pointsavers rate which I'm guessing is likely the reason for the decent value I got.

I’m Titanium. Looking to book a trip for May. Question… is this a kid friendly hotel? I have a 4yr old and 2yr old, plus spouse. Also, most of the lower tier rooms only allow 3 occupants. I’d have to get a much more expensive room for 4 ppl, if I include the kids in the search. Anyone know the rigidity here if I book for 3 ppl but show up with 4, given that two of them are toddlers? Thx!

Their king bed size is 200x200 (usually known as Hollywood King or Super King). Extra bed is charged IDR1.320.000 net if you require one (may have changed).
They have a kids club with scheduled activities. Sufficient enough for the children to spend 2 hours per day or so .. The butler service is helpful in preparing glasses of milks for the children every evening before their bed time while the adults get hot tea ..
